Harris campaign plans aggressive swing state push after debate with Trump
NEWSLOOKS – PITTSBURGH (AP) —
Vice President Kamala Harris is launching a four-day campaign blitz through key swing states following her debate with Republican opponent Donald Trump on Tuesday. The “New Way Forward” tour will include rallies, canvassing events, and targeted outreach programs in pivotal states, starting in North Carolina and wrapping up at the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month on Sept. 15.
Harris’ campaign sees the post-debate period as crucial for persuading undecided voters in battleground states before ramping up efforts to boost turnout ahead of early voting. Trump has also intensified his outreach efforts with rallies and interviews in favorable venues.
“Our campaign will take the vice president’s message directly to the voters wherever they are — on the airwaves, on the doors, and online,” said campaign communications director Michael Tyler. “With so much at stake, we are blitzing the battlegrounds and leaving it all out on the field.”
After the debate in Philadelphia, Harris will kick off her tour Thursday in North Carolina. Her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will campaign in Michigan. On Friday, Harris will return to Pennsylvania, with Walz making stops in Michigan and Wisconsin. The candidates’ spouses will also be part of the effort, with Doug Emhoff campaigning in Nevada, Arizona, and Florida, while Gwen Walz travels to Georgia, New Hampshire, and Maine.
The campaign will also debut a new television ad focusing on Harris’ plans for middle-class tax cuts, lowering prescription drug prices, and addressing the housing crisis. These ads are part of a broader $370 million media investment tailored to key states including Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Nebraska.
